Put It into Practice: Implement Every Child Ready to Read @ your library

HALF DAY; Tuesday, March 11, 9:00 AM–12:30 PM

Sponsored by the Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) joint committee

Join us for a full demonstration of an ECRR 2.0 workshop with hands-on activities. A panel of children’s librarians and early literacy experts will share tips, along with their experiences and insights into using ECRR 2.0 in a variety of settings. Special topics will include foundational early literacy skills; community partnerships; informal ECRR presentations; using volunteers for ECRR outreach to low-income neighborhoods; training caregivers and parents; and seizing the opportunity to be a positive partner with families around the topic of media and young children.
